Set in India's pre-independent era, in a sleepy fictitious town, Malgudi, Malgudi Schooldays (Puffin Classics) revolves around the adventures of a typical school boy named Swami. His notorious gang of friends, include Mani, Somu, Samuel, Pea, Sankar and the latest entry, Rajam. Swaminathan is a boy who shudders at the very thought of school. Swami's days are filled with action. He is either creating an uproar in the classroom or making preparations for passing his exams in a short cut method. He loves running down the streets of Malgudi with the coachman's son's hoop. He enjoys playing pranks, especially on his grandmother. Inspired by a vibrant Swadeshi demonstration, he even stones the school windows. His antics also include gazing at trains and entertaining himself with different hairstyles and caps. The much awaited Malgudi Cricket Club is organized and Swami is chosen to be the team's bowler. A superstar of the team, Swami is posed with a major problem. He has to be present at the school drill and the cricket coaching at the same time. On the day of the prestigious match with the neighboring Young Men's union, things go terribly wrong. What will Swami do now?

R. K. Narayan

R. K. Narayan (10 October 1906 – 13 May 2001), commonly known as R. K. Narayan, was an Indian writer known for his work set in the fictional South Indian town of Malgudi. He was a leading author of early Indian literature in English along with Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao. Narayan's mentor and friend Graham Greene was instrumental in getting publishers for Narayan's first four books including the semi-autobiographical trilogy of Swami and Friends, The Bachelor of Arts and The English Teacher. The fictional town of Malgudi was first introduced in Swami and Friends. Narayan's The Financial Expert was hailed as one of the most original works of 1951 and Sahitya Academy Award winner The Guide was adapted for film (winning a Filmfare Award for Best Film) and for Broadway.Narayan highlights the social context and everyday life of his characters. He has been compared to William Faulkner who also created a similar fictional town and likewise explored with humour and compassion the energy of ordinary life. Narayan's short stories have been compared with those of Guy de Maupassant because of his ability to compress a narrative. In a career that spanned over sixty years Narayan received many awards and honours including the AC Benson Medal from the Royal Society of Literature, the Padma Vibhushan and the Padma Bhushan, India's second and third highest civilian awards, and in 1994 the Sahitya Akademi Fellowship, the highest honour of India's national academy of letters.He was also nominated to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliamen
